The back parlor storm windows and screens will soon be replaced. In the meantime, I want to remove the bottom storm window from one window. The top one is already missing. The bottom one won’t open because the tracks are so worn out – they are loose and bend outward when I try to lift the windows. I would like to take it out myself maybe with a friend helping rather than hire someone. I am not exactly sure how to do it but I think I might need to be on the outside on a ladder. But, can I do this from inside instead? I have done DIY projects before but never dealt with storm windows. Is this a tricky project? Any tips? If I need to hire someone? The new windows will be installed by a contractor in about a month and is not available to do this. Thanks
